Why teach kids sight words using crafts?
One way to teach kids sight words is through the use of crafts. Sight words, also known as high-frequency words, are words that appear frequently in written language and are often difficult for children to learn.
By incorporating crafts into the learning process, children can have fun while also practicing their sight words.

Another idea is to have children make a small book out of index cards and have them write their sight words on each page.
These hands-on activities can make learning sight words more engaging and memorable for children.
Sight word activities are a great way to help your child learn these important words.
